The Fundamentals of Surveying- Juniper Publishers
Civil Engineering Research Journal- Juniper Publishers Opinion As technology has become more accessible and mobile there is a misconception that it has the capability of producing better results and is on course to replace traditional methods. This is a discussion I have had with other adjuncts and professionals who have taught courses at City Tech. The methods we teach are applicable to first- and second-year civil engineering and construction management technology students in New York City and are currently based on traditional surveying methods. The course is an introduction to land surveying equipment and techniques and so most students are unfamiliar with the terms used to describe a plane two dimensional versus a geodetic or three-dimensional surface. At this point in their academic career they have only been exposed to plane geometry and trigonometry, so we start by describing a location as a point on a local two-dimensional grid. Then we say we want to use this point as a refe
